Might I suggest a compromise?  It seems to me that it would be fairly
simple to add "Show splash screen at startup" entry under LO's general
options.  Better yet, there could be a "Startup behavior" entry with
"Splash screen", "NotifyOSD", and "Do Nothing" radio buttons.

To me, the always-on-top splash screen seems a sub-optimal approach,
when the OS has a much less obtrusive notification method built in.  But
maybe it's asking too much to request that level of interaction with the
OS on a cross-platform suite.

I seriously doubt that the state of the splash screen is due to a
copyright clause.  Everything in LibreOffice is either under Creative
Commons or GPL.  And the user *can* disable the splash screen by
manually altering a settings file.
